Bond Girls Are Forever is a 2002 James Bond documentary film hosted by actress Maryam d'Abo, who played the role of Kara Milovy in the 15th James Bond film The Living Daylights. The film was accompanied by a 2003 book written by John Cork and d'Abo, Bond Girls Are Forever: The Women of James Bond. The film and the book are tributes to the elite club of women who have played the role of a Bond girl.[1]

The TV film, which was released in November 2002 alongside Die Another Day, features interviews with a number of Bond girls who were featured throughout the film franchise between the first James Bond film, Dr. No (1962) starring Ursula Andress and the then-current 20th film Die Another Day starring Halle Berry. In 2003, the documentary was released on DVD and offered as a free gift with the purchase of Die Another Day on DVD by some retailers.

In 2006, a new version of the documentary, updated to include interviews with cast from Casino Royale and edited to include commercial breaks, was produced for the AMC network and was later released as a bonus feature on the March 2007 DVD and Blu-ray editions of Casino Royale.

A new 2012 version was shown on the Sky Movies 007 channel in the UK to include Quantum of Solace and Skyfall.

Emmy award–winning singer and songwriter Faith Rivera performed a rendition of "Nobody Does It Better" over the closing credits of the documentary.
